1. perspective projection: A type of mathematical projection used to represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, by preserving the parallel lines of the original object. Stereographic projection is a type of perspective projection, which is also known as a 'central projection' or a 'radial projection', as it projects the rays from a single point, called the 'center of projection', onto the plane of projection, resulting in the distortion of shapes and sizes, but preserving the relative positions and orientations of the original object.

2. map projection: A map projection is a way of representing the spherical surface of the Earth or other celestial bodies onto a flat plane or a cylindrical or conical surface, in order to create a two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional world. Map projections can preserve various properties of the original spherical surface, such as angles, shapes, sizes, or relative positions and orientations, depending on the specific type of map projection used. Some common types of map projections include cylindrical projections, conical projections, mercator projections, stereographic projections, and others.
